UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

In this verse, Job describes the state of desert streams in the cold season, and in the next verse, he contrasts that with the state of the streams in the hot season. To show this contrast, you could create a verse bridge for verses 16–17. It might say something like this: “In the cold season, these streams are dark from ice over their channel, indeed, snow covers that channel. But in the hot season, the streams go dry and vanish, the heat dries them up completely”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

הַ⁠קֹּדְרִ֥ים מִנִּי־קָ֑רַח עָ֝לֵ֗י⁠מוֹ יִתְעַלֶּם־שָֽׁלֶג

the,run_dark because_of ice into,them melting snow

The pronoun it refers in both cases to the “channel” of streams that Job described in the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “These streams are dark from ice over their channel; that channel hides itself with snow”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יִתְעַלֶּם־שָֽׁלֶג

melting snow

Job is speaking as if a channel of desert streams were a living thing that hides itself with snow in the winter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “snow covers this channel”
